FRESH STRAWBERRY MARTINI

Steps:

• Prep martini glasses by either putting them in the freezer to frost or rimming them with sugar.
• To rim a glass with sugar slice a very ripe, or over ripe strawberry 1/2 way through and gently wipe it around the edges of the glass so the juice just barely coats it.
• Now turn it upside down into a shallow dish filled with sugar.
• In a shaker put clean, hulled strawberries in bottom and mash with a wooden spoon until they are very well smashed.
• Add fresh Ice to fill the shaker and add the vodka, strawberry syrup and about 1 tsp sugar or more depending on your sweet tooth.
• Shake for about 20 seconds until well mixed.
• Now pour into the prepped glasses, garnish and serve!

STRAWBERRY MARTINI

Steps:

• Heat the strawberries, sugar and water together in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. As the strawberries heat up, use a fork to gently mash them, releasing their juices. Continue to simmer the syrup for 10 minutes to let the flavor fully infuse. Remove the syrup from the stove and strain out the strawberry chunks. Let it cool slightly before mixing it into your drink.
• Add the strawberry syrup, vodka and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well for 5-7 seconds until the outside of the cocktail shaker is frosted. Strain and serve into a chilled glass with fresh ice. Enjoy responsibly!
